If you or someone in your family is immuno-suppressed, have at it. Otherwise in terms of risk avoidance you might as well start wearing a crash helmet when you ride the bus just in case.

I'll add that if you're in this situation, you probably want to be masking at home, too.


30,000 die in the US in car accidents every year. crash helmets, race harnesses, and roll cages would save thousands of lives. but I get that some people rather die than wear safety gear.


If you've ever seen a motorcycle cop ticket a driver for not wearing theur seatbelt, you would know it's not about safety.


I like the idea of wearing full face motorcycle helmet in a bus.


Stormtrooper armor for all!


Does that measure epidemic-spread-rate somehow?

I understood masks were not about making you proof against infection, but instead for slowing the spread so hospitals could respond. That's the critical measure of mask effectiveness.
